Funding for artist residencies - Nordic Culture Point

The application should include plans to invite at least two professional artists from two other Nordic or Baltic countries outside the one where the centre operates. The funding does not cover artists who live in the same country in which the residency centre is located. “Professional” means that there is documented experience in the field of art and culture and/or training in art or culture. [...] Funding for artist residencies is part of the Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme for Culture, which strengthens artistic and cultural cooperation in the Nordic region and the Baltic countries. The programme focuses on increasing the exchange of knowledge, contacts and interest in Nordic and Baltic art and culture. The Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme comprises three forms of funding: Mobility funding, Network funding and Funding for artist residencies. ## What is eligible for funding? [...] Nordic and Baltic residency centres can apply for funding to invite artists from other Nordic and Baltic countries. The purpose of the programme is to promote mobility between the Nordic and Baltic countries. Funding for artist residencies is available for all areas of art and culture. During their residency, the artists must have the opportunity to focus on their work without distraction, meet other artists, and establish contacts with local practitioners of art and culture.
